The following Text, dated 28 August 2012, is from THE IRISH TIMES

The Sacred Heart Church, located at The Crescent, in Limerick City Centre, which was on the market for more than €4 million, has been sold for €700,000 to a Community of Priests called The Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest.

Also known as The Jesuit Church, after The Order that built it and occupied it for many years, The Sacred Heart Church has been vacant for the last six years following its sale to the Late John O’Dolan, a developer from Galway.

Mr O’Dolan, who died in 2009, had planned to convert the building into a leisure centre and bar.

But now the Church, which was in danger of falling into disrepair, is to return to its original function following its sale to the Religious Community, led in Limerick by 38-year-old Frenchman, Canon Wulfran Lebocq, The Institute’s Choirmaster, who has lived in Ballingarry since 2010.

  2. Thank You, Dante Peregrinus, for your welcome Comment. Indeed, we thank God for this magnificent Church being saved by The Institute of Christ The King Sovereign Priest. Such beautiful Liturgy is now given to Limerick's Parishioners on a daily basis. AND, not one guitar in sight !!! Deo Gratias.
